Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IsraelOwner had to go to work early at 7am so breakfast was prepared on living room every morning at 6.45-7am. One if us slept in the living room so it wasn’t the convenient. But as early birders it was fine by us. Just letting us know in advance could be nice.
Location, view, hospitality , amazing breakfast. 10 min walk (downhill/uphill) from fortress and main bazaar. Includes a Laundry machine , very comfort and quiet place. Not so easy to drive there but in general any place in jirokaster is not easy to arrive to😀

United KingdomNothing to dislike, but it does get a bit cold in the house. We went there in May which is just around the start of summer. The warm terrace area makes up for it!
Loved the location and the host Mona! So kind and welcoming, opening up her home to us and making us breakfast. We really enjoyed our time there. The terrace is beautiful!

United KingdomIt’s tricky to be found so it helps to ask the owner for the exact location in advance, the web maps are not accurate in Gjirokastër
The most stunning view of the town, the castle and the whole valley. The sunset from the terrace is simply breathtaking. The owner is lovely, we felt welcome and both us and our kids very much enjoyed the breakfast prepared for us.

ItalyThe apartment is uphill, so although it is very close to the center, keep in mind in case of mobility difficulty.
Absolutely stunning views of the city and castle. Our hostess was extremely kind, the apartment is a family home, so it feels like you are visiting a relative. Everything was extremely clean and the breakfast in the morning was very tasty.

United Arab EmiratesWhat an amazing villa. The balcony has beautiful views of the old town and castle, a perfect place to enjoy the delicious breakfast served by the host every morning. The breakfast was huge and homemade – a highlight of our trip. The house is very comfortable, with everything you need. Both bedrooms have air conditioning. The fridge stocked with drinks at a very reasonable price was lovely – it saved us a trip to the shops. The villa is ideally situated close to the old bazaar and castle. We loved our stay here.

United KingdomThe property is located near the top of the town with a spectacular view of the town and the castle. The bedrooms are comfortable and have air conditioning. There is a fully functioning kitchen (and the fridge was a mini-bar stocked with beer, wine, and soft drinks, at pretty much cost price, which was a lovely touch) but we did not use the cooking facilities as we ate our lunch and evening meals out. Our breakfast was served to us (by the hosts lovely and welcoming mother) on the balcony and was simply amazing, a real highlight with lovely homemade food (and lots of it). David sent us through some clear directions as to how to get there (as Google maps sends you the wrong way). There was a tight turn and the roads were narrow but it was easy enough in a mid-size car and there is a space to park right outside. We walked everywhere during our stay and you need to be fairly mobile to get around as there are some steep ups and down. The bazaar with all the shops, bars, and restaurants was about a ten minute walk and the castle about twelve.

New ZealandThe only problem we had was finding the place when we got there. Not sure why this happened but the map identifying the location we were sent was wrong. The house is way up past the mosque. Google Maps isn't great in Gjirokaster, but some more detailed instructions for arriving would solve these troubles.
Amazing place to stay! It's a whole apartment so there is heaps of space, kitchen, etc, even a washing machine. The view of the castle and surrounds is very special. You sit out on the terrace for breakfast and it's perfect. The breakfast was incredible too and lovely hosts.
